A New Year
a bright light of hope
almost strong enough
to burn away the shadows
of the last year
but they still cling to the sides
of my soul
a constant reminder of my mistakes
a nagging tug at my heart
trying to pull me back into my past impulses
I walk into the light
the light this new year brings
and try to believe
in the future, in myself
i try to believe, with all of my heart and soul
that i wont let the shadows of my past hurt me
keep me
from making my future bright
